Chapter 1
Natsu and Erza stood across from one another. The guild had just finished with the lullaby incident and were having the normal party. When Natsu decided to challenge Erza to a fight. Yes he was continuously doing this and had lost every challenge, but for some strange reason he keeped at it. Some in the guild were even beginning to think he was a masochist with how loved to fight. They would seem to be proven write with how many times Natsu had been utterly destroyed in his fights with Erza as he had lost every challenge he ever had with her. What they didn't know was that it wasn't that Natsu was a masochist, in fact he hated the pain that came with the fight, no Natsu continually did this for one reason. He felt that if he could beat Erza that it might actually wake up his inner dragon. As every Dragonslayer had an inner dragon that would try to take over when they found the one that their inner dragon choose as the dragon slayers life long mate. Sure when he was younger he would constantly fighting Erza as a way to gage his strength. However as of recently he had begun to grow concerned as his inner dragon had yet to even think of finding a mate. Sure he was around scantily clad women all the time and had the normal male reaction to this but he NEVER once felt as if he wanted to jump any of them and take them right then and there as that is what he was supposed to feel when he found his mate. Yet still nothing had ever happened. Well nothing since Lisanna had died. And even then it was as if his inner dragon was only accepting Lisanna as the only possibly, as it was acting as if it had given up on finding his true mate. So when Lisanna died Natsu had grown worried as he hadn't felt anything since then. Ya Mira had been dropping hints after a year had past of Lisanna being gone and she had come to terms with how she felt and had been doing so ever since but still nothing. So as time passed Natsu began to think it was because he had failed to beat Erza. As he thought that only by beating her would his inner dragon accept him as strong enough to protect his mate and would actually choose one. So that now brings us to the entire guild watching and placing bets.
Erza however wasn't in a joyous mood. Sure she enjoyed the fights as they were nothing more than friendly spares. Yet for some reason Natsu had become more frequent in his demands for her to fight him. Not only that but he was getting more and more careless. He was making mistakes that she knew he had known better than to make. He was being to act more and more like a caged animal that had been forced into a corner. It was honestly begin to make her fear for his safety. Infact Erza had even gone to Mira for advice on what to do. Soon all of those close to Natsu were discussing the problem as they all agreed that should this continue Natsu could end up doing something that might cost him his life. Thankfully they had come up with a plan, one that she was about to start.
"Well are we going to stand here all day or fight" Natsu said as he light his hand on fire.
"Before we start I have a little proposal for you Natsu, what do you say instead of just one fight we fight twice back to back"
"Fine but what's the catch"
"Simple if I win round one you have to tell me the real reason you keep challenging me and it has to be done in front of the whole guild and you have to swear on Igneel's name to tell the truth, also if I win the second round you become my personal butler for an entire day"
"Ok if I win the first round you have to take Mira's place as model for the next issue of sorcerer weekly and you have to do so completely naked. Next if I win the second round you have to be my maid for a day" Natsu said with a smirk hoping she would back out of the deal with that.
"F...fine, after all it is only far that I have to have a fitting counter bet as I remember you say that for Dragon Slayers to swear on their dragons parents name is not something to trifle with" Erza said with a beet red face and slight stutter. Meanwhile every guy in the guild now was praying for Natsu to win the first round. Well that was until Erza gave them all a death glare that promised death to anyone who was stupid enough to buy that copy should she lose.
'besides I can't let him escape from telling use why he has become so obsessed with beating me. Also their is no way in hell I am doing that photo shoot' Erza thought.
"Ready, fight" Makarov called out.
Natsu was going to start with a dragon roar but was immediately stopped as he felt Erza's fist in his gut. It was at this moment that he realized that the hole beet was one big trick to get Him to tell why he wanted to beat Erza so badly. Sadly this realization came to late as he slipped into unconsciousness.
Mira immediately caught the Dragonslayer as he fell. One that was done she laid his head on her lap as she looked down with concern. She quickly turned her head and glared at Erza.
"I know we agreed that you would end the first fight as fast as possible but you could have been a bit gentler about it. Did you really need to hit him as hard as you did to knock him out" Mira said with a venomous voice that borderlined demonic. It was the closest the guild had come to hearing Mira's demonic voice as they had come within the past two years.
"It is true that I didn't need to punch that hard to simply knock him out but that is what he gets for Making me agree to such a perverted deal"
"That's bullshit and you know it, you know that deal was fair as for a Dragonslayer to swear on their dragons name is the same a agreeing to willingly be kill should they break the agreement and swear and you know it" Mira said with such anger that it made many of the guild pale as they were concerned about what Mira may do.
"Well that doesn't matter now, what does matter is waking him up and getting answers" Gray said.
Mira simply nodded before she turned her attention to the dragon slayer. She then leaned in close to his ear before she whispered into his ear. The second she finished Natsu jumped up and began to frantically search for something before her turns to Mira with a disappointed face.
"That's just curl Mira" Natsu said with a pout. Mira merely giggled at this.
"Sorry Natsu but I had to wake you up so you could hold up your end of the first part of the bet. I promise I'll come over later and make it up to you by cooking you as many of my meals as possible sound good" Mira asked with a smile and a small blush.
"That sounds great" Natsu said as he flashed his famous smile as he sat up "though I guess you guys want answers now" Natsu said with a slightly depressed look. He then spent the next five minutes explaining how Dragon Slayers take on the traits of dragons and how their relationships are started. He was careful not to reveal everything as Igneel had warned him that that knowledge should only ever be revealed to his mate and offspring. Just as he was finished a frog brist through the crowd and announced that he was to be arrested.
